Project description:The challenge of chemical exposomics in human plasma is the 1000-fold concentration gap between endogenous substances and environmental pollutants. Phospholipids are the major endogenous small molecules in plasma, thus we validated a chemical exposomics protocol with an optimized phospholipid-removal step prior to targeted and non-targeted liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry. Increased injection volume with negligible matrix effect permitted sensitive multiclass targeted analysis of 77 priority analytes; median MLOQ = 0.05 ng/mL for 200 μL plasma. In non-targeted acquisition, mean total signal intensities of non-phospholipids were enhanced 6-fold in positive (max 28-fold) and 4-fold in negative mode (max 58-fold) compared to a control method without phospholipid removal. Moreover, 109 and 28% more non-phospholipid molecular features were detected by exposomics in positive and negative mode, respectively, allowing new substances to be annotated that were non-detectable without phospholipid removal. In individual adult plasma (100 μL, n = 34), 28 analytes were detected and quantified among 10 chemical classes, and quantitation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) was externally validated by independent targeted analysis. Retrospective discovery and semi-quantification of PFAS-precursors was demonstrated, and widespread fenuron exposure is reported in plasma for the first time. The new exposomics method is complementary to metabolomics protocols, relies on open science resources, and can be scaled to support large studies of the exposome.

Project description:Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is formed by heterogeneous ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament. The patho-mechanism of OPLL is still largely unknown. MicroRNAs are small nucleatides that function as regulators of gene expression in almost any biological process. However, few microRNAs are reported to have a role in the pathological process of OPLL. Therefore, we performed high-throughput microRNA sequencing and transcriptome sequencing of primary OPLL and PLL cells in order to decipher the interacting network of microRNAs in OPLL. MRNA and microRNA profiles were done using primary culture cells of human ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) tissue and normal posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) tissue.

Project description:For comprehensive chemical exposomics in blood, analytical workflows are evolving through advances in sample preparation and instrumental methods. We hypothesized that gas chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) workflows could be enhanced by minimizing lipid coextractives, thereby enabling larger injection volumes and lower matrix interference for improved target sensitivity and nontarget molecular discovery. A simple protocol was developed for small plasma volumes (100-200 μL) by using isohexane (H) to extract supernatants of acetonitrile-plasma (A-P). The HA-P method was quantitative for a wide range of hydrophobic multiclass target analytes (i.e., log Kow > 3.0), and the extracts were free of major lipids, thereby enabling robust large-volume injections (LVIs; 25 μL) in long sequences (60-70 h, 70-80 injections) to a GC-Orbitrap HRMS. Without lipid removal, LVI was counterproductive because method sensitivity suffered from the abundant matrix signal, resulting in low ion injection times to the Orbitrap. The median method quantification limit was 0.09 ng/mL (range 0.005-4.83 ng/mL), and good accuracy was shown for a certified reference serum. Applying the method to plasma from a Swedish cohort (n = 32; 100 μL), 51 of 103 target analytes were detected. Simultaneous nontarget analysis resulted in 112 structural annotations (12.8% annotation rate), and Level 1 identification was achieved for 7 of 8 substances in follow-up confirmations. The HA-P method is potentially scalable for application in cohort studies and is also compatible with many liquid-chromatography-based exposomics workflows.

Project description:Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is formed by heterogeneous ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament. The patho-mechanism of OPLL is still largely unknown. Recently, disorders of metabolism are thought to be the center of many diseases such as OPLL. Advanced glycation end product (AGE) are accumulated in many extracellular matrixes such as ligament fibers, and it can functions as cellular signal through its receptor (RAGE), contributing to various events such as atherosclerosis or oxidative stress. However, its role in OPLL formation is not yet known. Therefore, we performed high-through-put RNA sequencing on primary posterior longitudinal ligament cells treated with different doses of AGEs (1µM, 5µM and negative control), with or without BMP2 (1µM). mRNA profiles of Primary human posterior longitudinal ligament cells stimulated with various stimuli (Control, 1µM AGE-BSA, 5µM AGE-BSA, 1µM AGE-BSA with BMP2, 5µM AGE-BSA with BMP2) were generated by deep sequencing on Ion Proton

Project description:We report for the first time movement of Correia Repeat Enclosed Elements, through inversion of the element at its chromosomal location. Analysis of Ion Torrent generated genome sequence data from Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain NCCP11945 passaged for 8 weeks in the laboratory under standard conditions and stress conditions revealed a total of 37 inversions: 24 were exclusively seen in the stressed sample; 7 in the control sample; and the remaining 3 were seen in both samples. These inversions have the capability to alter gene expression in N. gonorrhoeae through the previously determined activities of the sequence features of these elements. In addition, the locations of predicted non-coding RNAs were investigated to identify potential associations with CREE. Associations varied between strains, as did the number of each element identified. The analysis indicates a role for CREE in disrupting ancestral regulatory networks, including non-coding RNAs. RNA-Seq was used to examine expression changes related to Correia repeats in the strain

Project description:In order to determine whether dis-regulation of a genetic pathway could explain the increased apoptosis of parp-2-/- double positive thymocytes, the gene expression profiles in double positive thymocytes derived from wild-type and parp-2-/- mice were analysed using Affymetrix oligonucleotide chips (mouse genome 430 2.0).

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are recently characterized players that are involved in the regulatory circuitry of self-renewal in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). However, the specific roles of lncRNAs in this circuitry are poorly understood. Here, we determined that growth-arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5), which is a known tumor suppressor and growth arrest gene, is abundantly expressed in the cytoplasm of hESCs and essential for hESC self-renewal. GAS5 depletion in hESCs significantly impaired their pluripotency and self-renewal ability, whereas GAS5 overexpression in hESCs accelerated the cell cycle, enhanced their colony formation ability and increased pluripotency marker expression. By RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, we determined that GAS5 activates NODAL-SMAD2/3 signaling by sustaining the expression of NODAL, which plays a key role in hESC self-renewal but not in somatic cell growth. Further studies indicated that GAS5 functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to protect NODAL mRNA against degradation and that GAS5 transcription is directly controlled by the core pluripotency transcriptional factors (TFs). Taken together, we suggest that the core TFs, GAS5 and NODAL-SMAD2/3 form a feed-forward loop to maintain the hESC self-renewal process. These findings are specific to ESCs and did not occur in the somatic cell lines we tested; therefore, our findings also provide evidence that the functions of lncRNAs vary in different biological contexts. We analyzed long non-coding RNAs in two hESC cell lines (X-01 and H1), and found GAS5 is highly expressed and functional in maintaining hESC self-renewal. We generate stable overexpressed or knockdown hESC cell lines using lentiviral approach. We transfected cells initialy after passage, and lentiviruses are added with daily medium change for three days (at a final concentration of 10^5 IU/ml). Puromycin is added for selection and supplied with daily medium change. Stable cell lines are established after two passages and verified under fluorescence scope. Total RNAs and miRNAs are extracted separately of all three cell lines (LV-NC, LV-GAS5 and LV-shGAS5) and put to sequencing.
